Skin fungal infections are caused by fungi that thrive in warm, moist environments. Factors such as sweating, tight clothing, weakened immune systems, and prolonged moisture on the skin can increase risk. In hot, humid climates like Boca Raton and Delray Beach, fungal infections are more common due to frequent heat and perspiration. At Barnett Dermatology, our dermatologists diagnose the specific type of infection and provide targeted treatment to clear it safely and effectively.

Each type affects different areas of the body and requires a specific treatment approach. The team at Barnett Dermatology in Boca Raton and Delray Beach is experienced in identifying all forms of fungal skin infections and creating personalized treatment plans.

Some mild fungal infections may improve on their own, but many require antifungal medication to fully clear. Without proper treatment, infections can spread, worsen, or return repeatedly. Patients in Boca Raton and Delray Beach often benefit from early medical care to prevent complications and speed healing.
